    I guess too many people complained about tri-pots.

    Too bad they're not tradable; I've got a couple of thousand gathering digital dust.
    I'm fresh out of outrage, but I could muster up some amused annoyance if required.

    Oh great, you are the reason they are no longer giving them out because of all the stress they are putting on the servers clogging up your inventory. :D

    They aren't the only one!
    I don't know how many I have, but I think I have at least 10 stacks of them in my bank!

    Do you think if I managed to get that many of the poisons and foods they will stop putting them in the daily reward? :P

    One can only hope. I get so tired of deleting poisons and non-tripot potions that it actually makes me not want to login.

    offtopic: for PC players there is an awesome addon called JunkBuster. Once being set it up properly it autodestroys whatever you selected to exterminate right on picking that up. Sharp hates this addon. B)

    I use Quick Destroy as I can destroy things without a prompt and I use Zolan's Junk Handler to automark marked items for junk such as the "Cloudy" style potions from mobs and delve/PD bosses.

    And yes, the rewards this month are meh. More AP would be nice, and occasional tri-pots.

    Is there an addon that instead of automatically destroying things like cloudy potions, it lets you automark them to automatically sell them the next time you open a vendor, or in the case of intricate items, automatically deconstruct them when you open a deconstructor?

    Looking at this reminds me of the sad scene from the Titanic where the "unsinkable" ship was sinking in the sea. I guess it's time to play some Celine Dion music to make it sadder and more depressing.

    I use Personal Assistant to auto-junk and vendor things. I don't deconstruct much, but I see from the add-on description page that it has that feature.

    Yeah, login rewards used to be something to kind of look forward to, for some kind of little treato, even if insignificant. Even back in August, I was happy to have at least some tri-pots. But September and October, we're getting basically nothing we can't easily farm for ourselves in 30 mins. Maybe the experience scrolls... which I guess means they'll be the next to go.

    If I managed to count and add correctly, I have 3,790 tri pot potions that I can't get rid of without destroying. I have 18 stacks of 200, and one stack of 190.

    I think that the lack of good rewards for the daily logins this month is more likely due to the writhing wall event as well as witches festival. So, still plenty of rewards, just not from the daily logins. Change of pace.

    Rather than tripots I'd like them to toss more furnishings into the daily rewards.
    Doesn't have to be anything huge. Even those that aren't into decorating and housing usually have the free homes and such.

    Make it small stuff that we can't make or get in game even... a bowl of dog food, a small flower in a pot, even a bowl of water for my animals lol. But something I can't get any other way. There are tons of household items pictured in the game that we can't get, make or buy. That's incentive to log in.

    As others have said, a motif page, style page, fancy boots! The odd item that the Gold Vendor brings on the weekend but we haven't seen in awhile.

    OH! FIRES FOR FIREPLACES, lighting effects, on and on.

    If the goal is to get people to log in then ZoS you need to spice it up a little. And not just ONE day of the month. Give us a bunch of little things sprinkled throughout the month.

    I don't need potions or poisons (I delete them) because I make my own, which are better. I don't need provisions (I delete them) because I make my own -- better than what they give us as a daily reward. I don't need non-combat pets because I find them annoying and never use them.

    I do like receiving legendary mats. Those are rare and very useful to veteran players. I do like receiving special housing furnishings. Those are nice.

    Mainly, I make sure that I log on every day to get my Shadowy Supplier selection, and my Dragonguard Chest, and of course my Hirelings materials.

    I also really like receiving Tel Var stones in the daily Rewards because I trade the two bundles of 5000 Tel Var for apothecary satchels, which is a nice boost to getting Alchemy mats.

    So I figure some of the freebies are just "filler" and some are really useful. I can handle that.

    :smiley:

    Well I think ZOS made a mistake with the October daily rewards.

    Why? Because September/October players are generally veteran players who log in regularly and have old, advanced characters.

    By offering daily rewards for noobies (such as research scrolls for example), and no specific reward in the 3rd week for example, this shows how much ZOS makes fun of veteran players who are nevertheless the player base of TESO especially this month when few noob players connect.

    Maybe ZOS came to the same conclusion (that a minority of noob players played in Sept/Oct) and they want to try to attract them with this type of daily reward, but I think it doesn't work like that and it's not the best way to do it.

    I have stacks and stacks of the tri-pots. I've started using them in some situations, but it's going to take me a long, long time to go through all the stacks I've already got. So speaking purely for myself, I'm not too unhappy that tri-pots aren't being given out this month.
    I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!
